Because there appeared to be a need for an online meeting point for people interested in the nature of the Guianas (to get identifications, to meet other people etc.) I have decided to create a forum for this purpose: http://www.guianasnatureforum.org.I just finished creating the lay-out and writing an introduction and would like to invite you all to have a look and possibly post something. It is mainly an English language forum, but contributions in Dutch and French are welcome too. I’ve tried to explain everything about this forum in the forums topmost message.

I would like to emphasize that although there is an overlap between hymis.de and this new forum, I think these forums are mostly complementary. Hymis.de is good for wasps and their allies (and I will redirect people to here) while the new forum will hopefully help people getting other species from the Guianas identified.
